About the host

Hosted by Andrew Craven

Host profile image
I'm a retired chef with a background in hospitality, excited to bring that experience to VRBO. I co-host with my daughter, Lexi. While I've been a landlord for many years, this is a new adventure. Life keeps me busy with two kids, two dogs, three cats, and a bearded dragon. I also love fishing, so if you'd like tips on the best local spots, just ask. As a local host, I'm always nearby and ready to help if anything comes up during your stay.
